The Sega Saturn was a good system for its time, it even had games better than it's PS1 and N64 competitors. However, The Saturn was unfairly rejected by people because of its lack of games (LOL BERNIE STOLARD), so ultimately the console was forced into an early grave by the Dreamcast, and it was a dark day for Sega. Almost like the company's 3DO or Jaguar, except this didn't suck ass. If you find yourself a Sega Saturn, BUY IT. It's worth your money. Don't belive me? Check out dat list and dem games.

|Fighting
  +
|A G-rated, all girls fighting game that is shockingly good. Great visuals, simple 3-button controls and fast pacing make this a hidden gem in the Saturn fighting library. Also worth noting that this was the final release in the series that was made by the original developers.

It's a fairly fun SRPG, like Final Fantasy Tactics. Also, the beginning and ending of the game are decided for you as soon as you pick your black-winged master.

'''You need oxygen to keep yourself alive which is kind of a hassle, but it works.Released in Europe and Japan only. Also Europe's final Saturn game as well. So this does have English in it (probably).

|Rumored to be a sequel to Darius II that got its own setting because it was too dark for its own good. Still a damn good game on its own, albeit, strongly unforgiving; for one, bombing drains all your power and you don't get anything more than that narrowish twin shot to pick off enemies that come from all directions. Special note: this game may also have one of the biggest mindfuck endings in any video game ever

Battles unfold in real-time combat on a 2D plane where you can jump, slash your sword, parry and shit; plus, you utilize a ring system a la Secret of Mana to do stuff like use items and cast abilities. If you loved Odin Sphere and Muramasa, you ''must'' play this.Sadly, no translation patch exists (yet). Designed by the Vanillaware team -- who were still part of Atlus at the time -- and published by SEGA, so the IP belongs to three separate companies now. Later ported to the PSP, which is also JP only.

The Sega Saturn was a good system for its time, it even had games better than it's PS1 and N64 competitors. However, The Saturn was unfairly rejected by people because of its lack of games (LOL BERNIE STOLARD), so ultimately the console was forced into an early grave by the Dreamcast, and it was a dark day for Sega. Almost like the company's 3DO or Jaguar, except this didn't suck ass. If you find yourself a Sega Saturn, BUY IT. It's worth your money. Don't belive me? Check out dat list and dem games.

Akumajo Dracula X Saturn Akumajo Dracula X - Gekka no Yasoukyoku 2D Platformer A.K.A. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on the Saturn. Still the same fucking awesome game you know and love. Never came out in America. DAMMIT BERNIE STOLARD! THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

Longer load time and more slowdown than PS1, but it has extras and such (Protip: Save to external RAM cart to avoid slowdown).

Asuka 120% Limited Front Asuka 120% Burning Fest. Limited Fighting A G-rated, all girls fighting game that is shockingly good. Great visuals, simple 3-button controls and fast pacing make this a hidden gem in the Saturn fighting library. Also worth noting that this was the final release in the series that was made by the original developers. Asuka 120% Limited Screenshot

Black Matrix (J) - Front Black/Matrix SRPG It seems like the minions of hell have won the war against the angels and they rewrite history and make up there own rules where love is punishable. Are you gonna take that!? It's a fairly fun SRPG, like Final Fantasy Tactics. Also, the beginning and ending of the game are decided for you as soon as you pick your black-winged master.

Deep Fear (J) - Front Deep Fear Survival Horror Very similar to Resident Evil, if not as advanced, except that you are underwater and instead of fighting zombies you fight mutants. It's definitely fun if you liked Resident Evil or just like survival horror. Beware, you can't fuck around in this game since you ARE UNDERWATER AFTER ALL. You need oxygen to keep yourself alive which is kind of a hassle, but it works.Released in Europe and Japan only. Also Europe's final Saturn game as well. So this does have English in it (probably).

Take control of a bunch of hax0rs called the Spookies and enter the virtual city Paradigm-X to fight against demons using demons of your own (on the internets of course) via GUMP (A computerized gun used for summoning demons).

T19902gfront Metal Black Shoot 'em Up Rumored to be a sequel to Darius II that got its own setting because it was too dark for its own good. Still a damn good game on its own, albeit, strongly unforgiving; for one, bombing drains all your power and you don't get anything more than that narrowish twin shot to pick off enemies that come from all directions. Special note: this game may also have one of the biggest mindfuck endings in any video game ever Metal black

577774 17317 front Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari Adventure A combat-free platform game presented as an interactive storybook with beautiful visuals and sprite work. Unfortunately it is very dialogue-dependent and there is no translation effort planned as of current. Nanatsu4
Night Striker S SS A Night Striker S Rail Shooter A humble, yet nonetheless breathtaking rail shooter by Taito. Incredibly short even by arcade game standards but makes up for this with its incredible replay value; branching paths for those who want something different and a pacifist bonus for the dedicated. If that's not enough for you, this version of the port contains a special mode too. Nightstriker-3

234 Policenauts Adventure Basically one of Trolljimas early works before Metal Gear Solid (not Metal Gear the original, that came way before). I mean really, it even has Meryl Silverburgh in the screenshot. But a very good game nonetheless. On PS1 as well, with a fan translation. Policenauts-screenshot-007
Princess Crown SAT cover Princess Crown Action-RPG You start Chapter 1 as an ass-kicking princess who travels around her kingdom saving people. As you progress, you can unlock more characters who have their own unique stories. Battles unfold in real-time combat on a 2D plane where you can jump, slash your sword, parry and shit; plus, you utilize a ring system a la Secret of Mana to do stuff like use items and cast abilities. If you loved Odin Sphere and Muramasa, you must play this.Sadly, no translation patch exists (yet). Designed by the Vanillaware team -- who were still part of Atlus at the time -- and published by SEGA, so the IP belongs to three separate companies now. Later ported to the PSP, which is also JP only. Princesscrown-12
Rabbit-f Rabbit Fighting From EA's Japanese branch comes this cutesy 4 button fighter. Features dodges, recovery rolls, ground hits, and hops, the animal spirirt is the real focus here. You gain your opponets animal spirit after you defeat them, and can use it in the next match which encourages the player to try them all. Rabbit

SuikoenbuCover Suiko Enbu Fuun Saiki Fighting Very good Data East fightan based on the Water Margin novel. While it does have a american release (called Dark Legend), that one is horribly bugged and unplayable. Fuun Saiki is more of a "Champion Edition" of the original, with bug fixes and such, as well as including Mizoguchi and Yungmie from Fighters History as guest characters. SuikoenbuFuunsaiki
